friendly reminder that its fine if you're happy without a headphone jack, but defending its removal is just entirely cucked and retarded

Smol phones don't satisfy me anymore.

What phone has the best camera on the market right now? I will primarily use it to take pictures of my gf's feet.

v35 for 400 bucks or s9plus for 500

>handlet

What is the best android keyboard to downlaod that isnt hackers keyboard

V35 for the cameras and then download a launcher as I’m not a big fan of LGs skins.

What kind of case do you use on your phone?
You DO use a case right?

Not anymore after my screen got cracked in a case

I recommend the HTC Dream, Gen 1.

Best camera money can buy.

what kind of phone

LG G6, Zenfone 5 or Nokia 7 Plus?
Or maybe a V30 off ebay?

Samsung Galaxy s8 plus luckily im getting a note nine come tax season

Is there a way to only turn on autocorrect in certain apps?

Ringke fusion

You don't know that

your screen broke because of the curved screen meme, not the case

S9+

V30 or Zenfone 5, can't lose with either one of them, especially if you like rooting/unlocking/flashing

some case that at&t cucked me into getting for 20 bucks because I hate using naked phones
its a good case though

But yet I struggle to find a phone with decent spec's and battery that doesn't have the curved screen
You are not in facebook so I am correct

>But yet I struggle to find a phone with decent spec's and battery that doesn't have the curved screen
probably because you're a fucking retard

knockoff Incipio case that I'm not sure even exists for the Xperia XZ

What phone would you recommend no Chinese garbage please

Traps are better

Asus Zenfone 5Z
>no Chinese garbage
surprise retard, they're all chinkshit
eat a cyanide pill

USA
At&t
200 dollars
social media, internet browsing and constantly sharing/sending files
please not a fucking tablet seized "phone"

how is that a natty trap? Bet he takes estrogen pills and shit, those legs look like a girl's

Most midrange chinkphones that support AT&T bands are rather large

in fact pretty much your only choices are Sony's compact lineup and the iPhone SE. or the Baby Palm, but that's $350

Attached: maki-spg.png (500x281, 145K)

what the fuck happened with the cellphone market. just make laptops cheaper already, jesus christ

they all got greedy as the devices gained popularity and ability
that's why chinkshit is recommended the most here

Actually I looked and I think I might go with the one plus 6t it is almost a note 9 without the Samsung garbage and about half the price

DRAM manufacturers colluding on prices

I'm going to buy a phone tomorrow off ebay with the 15% off code, I'm stuck between s9/+ and the 6/t

i'm really just looking for a phone that will last me 4+ years, which of these will make that happen

Does a case interfere on phones with an edge to edge display like all the recent xperias?

I just looked and the 6t seems like the better deal can even get twice the storage and still pay less then most Samsung things

Of course it does. Especially when you try to drag an icon to another screen.

good on ya lad, way to not be a complete retard

If you don't mind the notch and the camera, definitely get the 6T.

>Need a new phone, have been using a Nexus 5 for years, and it’s become a laggy POS
>Findout the OnePlus 6 is on sale
>They don’t have the 256gb version, because it’s out of stock
F U C K. After using a nexus 5, I will never buy a phone without ample storage space again.
Any hope it will be back in stock before the sale ends?
F U C K

I would buy a phone without a camera I barely use them and the notch is still annoying but much less aggressive than most notches

Man the Xperias really fell off. The XZ3 has battery issues too, just all around fucked up.

What do you need so much space for? Genuinely curious. I have 128 GB, and I'm not even close to filling it.

What the hell do you need 256gb of on a phone?

>especially if you like rooting/unlocking/flashing
I'll be blunt with you, I never bothered with that. Would the Nokia (with gcam installed) suit my casual-ass needs better? It's the only one of the four that doesn't have a glass back, which is a big plus in my eyes.
Also looking into it deeper, if I buy from ebay the chance of it not arriving in time before I leave on vacation is high, so I guess the V30 is out.

>he doesn't carry at least 100 hours of 4K anal scenes with him
bruh

TV shows music game isos things like that

Anal is disgusting.

The white version just came back in stock (when it was sold out almost all day), so it likely will. Just keep watch.

I only fap to futa and yuri h manga.

the Nokia will suit you fine then

It's cheaper to buy a 200gb+ card than it is to opt for a higher gb model of the phones
plus if your phone conks your pornos won't be stored on it, ready and waiting for the repairman to see.

>"notches are a really cool idea, a bigger screen is always pretty great"
>Actually gets a notched phone
Holy shit was I wrong.
It's always in the way and contradicts swiping up on anything.

What phone?

Assuming you keep the phone for years, a bigger amount of storage is useful against Storage deterioration.

Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite. Didnt wanna get the non-lite version cause no headphone jack, but my opinion on the notch has changed a lot since I got it.

How does it get in the way?

That's kind of what I was afraid of. I was thinking about going for a more modern device, but ended up settling on a Moto X4 because of the conventional 5.2 inch form factor and the headphone jack. Hopefully I'll be able to ride it long enough that either the notchless edge-to-edge meme is perfected with the G8 or something, or I can come to terms with having a bite out of my screen
The Moto X4 exists, though it's actually a late 2017 model.

Okay, I'm trying to understand that state of the Moto x4
So the 32gb is normal, but are all the 64gb versions Android one? Will an Android one device get its updates just the same on any carrier? There's like 5 different xt1900 versions but I'm have doubts that getting the right hardware variant just makes it that.

Why do people care about updates when there's hardly any difference between full numbered android updates?
You don't actually care about security updates on a PHONE do you?
People literally exploit their own phones just to get root access.

I think it depends on your market. In Australia, I bought the XT1900-2, which is the 64/4 model rather than the 32/3 one. It's not considered an 'Android One' device but so far seems to be getting pretty regular updates anyway. I don't think the storage/ram pairing directly relates to the Android One status but I could be wrong.

The Motorola site just says the 64GB is Android one and then just links to Google fi. I don't care about the capacity, but I'd rather have more updates rather than extra Moto shit.
How are you liking it? I just want something smaller and a good camera.

If i want to unlock my device i have to swipe up on the left or right side of the screen. If i swipe up on the middle and over the notch, 100% of the time, the clock just jumps a bit and nothing happens.

I gave the notch a chance and I was sorta disappointed. Taking and viewing screenshots is wierd because the screenshot is not 100% of the screen size due to the notch, just little things like that that just rub me the wrong way.

These sound like Xiaomi specific problems. Have none of these issues on my 6T, including swiping up over the notch to unlock. Same with screenshots. Mine are the same res as the phone (pic related).

And it’s gone. That was quick. Some people probably returned it.

From my quick look around I suspect that the Android One model is only being sold through Google's telco, so have fun with that I guess. Could also be a regional market segmentation thing.

I'm really enjoying mine so far, had it for I think three weeks. Screen's nice and crisp with nice colour reproduction, battery life has been great and the camera's surprisingly nice for all the moaning I heard online about it. It looks like Motorola's improved the camera app experience significantly given that I'm not running into any of the slowness the reviews were complaining about. The photos themselves seem pretty nice too, the sensor is lower res than my old Sony's but for my money the pictures themselves might actually be a little nicer. You can download a build of gcam for it too if you want to. Performance has been great, everything is pretty snappy, 1080p weebshit decodes without a hitch and the overall experience is one I'd describe as a distinct upgrade from my old Xperia Z5, as much as I loved that phone.
Physically the device is nice. Build quality's good, IP68 is nice to have, feels very 'premium' in the hand even if I'd probably rather the durability of a metal or plastic back rather than glass. The phone's a touch slippery, never really had any trouble in my hand but I've had it slide off the edge of my bed once or twice. When on a flat surface it also gets propped up on the camera bump, since it's centered it's not really a problem though. The fingerprint sensor is fast enough to give TouchID a run for its money and the speaker, though mono, gives pretty pleasing sound without that high, tinny quality you might expect from a cheaper phone. Perfectly fine for listening to a youtube video or a podcast or something on without breaking out the headphones. Motorola's software customizations are pretty subtle and surprisingly helpful. 1/2 since I'm fucking vomiting words here.

Not sure why you would buy that, in 2018. It’s only got a few months of updates left, and the “sale” they had this Black Friday is the same price they sold it for last year for Black Friday.

2/2
The pseudo-always-on screen that turns on when it detects being picked up to show you notifications and battery is nice and I'm actually enjoying the gesture-based options to turn on the flashlight and quick open the camera. Tapping three fingers to the screen to take screenshots is also nice. Not sure if those features actually ship on the Android One version, I've seen conflicting reports there.
That's about everything I can think to mention about the phone, really liking it as a simple smartphone. Built nicely, lasts a solid day and a bit, has the performance to knock day to day shit out of the park and even does an alright job of some of the more modern games out there though it's no Razer Phone 2 or anything.

>Mine are the same res as the phone
Oh nono, mine are the same, but when viewing them in the gallery at fullscreen mode any screen space above the start of the notch is just black and the screenshot itself is squeezed up a bit. Would make a lot more sense for the notch to just cover a bit of the picture imo

>double notches
jeez

The TL;DR is that I like it. If you've got any questions about the phone that someone who owns it might be able to help with, I'm happy to try and answer them.

I'd try another gallery app. If I have a screenshot of my home screen open, it's impossible to tell whether you're looking at a screen shot or the home screen. It fills the screen perfectly.

Thanks for the insight. Got a case recommendation?

$200? $250 for the 65gb?

I was looking at this and the mi2a lite but why go chink if I can get something similar?

I'm wanting budget, small, and good camera. And without bloat

Oh? Maybe it's my gallery's fault then. I'm using the open source Simple Gallery app.

Yeah, I just tried it with OnePlus gallery and Google Photos. The former scales it perfectly. The latter shrinks it with black bars all around, and I have to zoom in to full screen it. That's the problem with all these different devices using their own aspect ratios and notch varieties. Hard to get a really consistent experience outside of stock apps.

Can I get a decent samsungshit for around 200€? Always hated their naming scheme.

I've been using it without a case so far. Motorola basically don't exist at retail in Australia anymore despite the company maintaining a division here so nobody local to me stocks cases. Looked at a few on Amazon, probably going to order some basic bitch transparent plastic one soon.

Yup my experience is the same as your google photos. I guess I'll just have to wait for the dev to take the notch into consideration.

trying to debloat Xiaomi MIUI with Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot Tools, but it won't open on windows, how do i use/fix this?

Throw out that chinkphone

Anybody?

What's a good price for the s9+ 64gb? $600? I certainly won't spend more than that for it
